Ah, if only it were so :-(
I think it's more likely that Olympus decided to create a first-class
camera system to fully compete with Nikon F2 and Canon F1. The Oly system
would have the depth of both, but would be considerably smaller and
lighter, which should appeal to just about every kind of pro. At some point
though Oly realized they were not going to join the ranks of C&N, and, with
amateur SLR sales also plunging, threw in the towel.
